Tuesday evening: Mom: Are you finished with your homework, Devin? Dev: Yeah. Mom: Did you do all of your chores? Dev: Yeah. Mom: Is your back pack packed up and ready to go for school tomorrow? Dev: Yeah (slightly annoyed with this line of questioning….) everything’s done. Wednesday morning: Dev: (on a friend’s borrowed cell […]

‘Tis the time of year where mailboxes are not just filled with holiday wishes from friends and family, but also stuffed with catalogs! Buy! Buy! Buy! (Seriously? With 4 boys, how did I get on the mailing list for American Girl?) Here is a website where you can be taken off of these obnoxious mailing […]

I thought Jessica was the dumb Simpson daughter. Bronx Mowgli Wentz. Stupid.

No good deed goes unpunished. (And they’ll talk smack about you, too.)

It’s been a week since my last post… crazy-busy… I’ll explain later. However, this irritated me so much I had to write a quick something: An article posted on Yahoo this morning reports that golfer J. P. Hayes basically disqualified himself from a tournament because he realized he broke a rule and he reported it […]

Saturday morning: I discover that someone’s cat has either a) climbed onto the hood of my car and went pee pee in the vent area between the hood and the wiper blades; or, b) gone under the vehicle and done that gross cat spray thing. The net result? When I turn on the air or […]

A litterbug comes in many forms.

Hey people, the election is over. Yesterday’s political signs are today’s trash. Take down your signs and put them in the garbage please. And on that point… once your yard sale is over, your sign is no longer an advertisement, but is garbage nailed to a tree. Am I the only person bugged by this?

Fierce? Um, not so much.

You have been on the campaign trail with your husband for almost two years. You know that you are photographed everywhere you go. You know your every move is scrutinized and talked about. You know weeks in advance that, based on the numbers, your husband is probably going to be elected the 44th president of […]

Devin is beginning the process of getting his learner’s permit for his driver’s license. He has to learn the rules of the road online in order to prepare to take the written test. When I was in high school, Driver’s Ed was a course that all sophomores had to take. My teacher, Mr. Price, was […]

If it rains on your wedding day, it’s considered good luck. If a bird poops on you, it’s considered good luck. (what-ev) Now tell me: Is it good luck or bad luck to christen a new home with an overflowing toilet?

Rich and I grew up in Norco, California. Norco is a great place to be from. When my parents moved us there in 1978 it was because my Mom was going through an equestrian phase and Norco prides itself on being “Horse Town, USA”. By city ordinance, there are no sidewalks in Norco. Only horse […]
